| RIP Robbie Robertson I met Levon once, around 2002 or so, at the groundbreaking for Bethel Woods, the outdoor concert venue that sits next to the original 1969 Woodstock site. I’ve gone to some shows at his Barn between Woodstock and Saugerties, not far from Big Pink,... | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? I know the initial post was about Koetsu forgeries, but the discussion went sideways into 3rd party retipping. I had been using Van den Hul for a couple decades. With COVID19, I decided I didn’t want to chance sending the cartridge across the pon... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? I love music and I want to hear it the way it was meant to be heard as closely as possible. My system, except for the room, got me there 30 years ago. As of five years ago, I finally also have the room. | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Can’t do it. I need at least a vague idea of what your preferences are. I have 6,000 LPs, dunno if I could choose 30, never mind 3. | |
| Cable elevators I’m with your family. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum - that cartridge is crazy expensive. - given its cost, MoFi’s policy is inexcusable. Maybe we should, as others suggest, start to boycott MusicDirect. - I also would send it to Steve at VAS. He did a great job on my Koetsu Rosewood Signature: it ... | |
| Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’! I was waiting to hear the trashed remake. Instead, I’m treated to snarky click bait by a whining baby boomer. Please don’t waste our time with this nonsense. | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I’ve owned Altec Lansing 604Cs and Ds since the late 1970s. Still chugging’ along. | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming The 90s were chaotic as to whether a vinyl recording was AAA, ADA, DDA. There are other variables, as others noted, too many variables. I’d go maybe a little farther than others here by simply saying that you have to judge on a case by case basis.... | |
| Quick Question About Power Cables @ghdprentice That IS what you said, and @kennyc seems to agree. Btw, I’m rather proud to be able to get $160K worth of performance out of $30K + some work and ingenuity. I’m done with this thread. Carry on. | |
| Quick Question About Power Cables @ghdprentice ”There are some folks that cannot hear audio improvements that are very apparent to many of us.” I was reluctant to enter this conversation at all because of obnoxious attitudes such as yours. You suggest that I am hearing deficien... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? Mid-fi, as others have so noted, seems like a marketing term, rather than a term having any use in characterizing quality differential. I never heard of it until now. | |
| Quick Question About Power Cables @ghdprentice I have tried them. I trust my ears, which hear negligible improvement, if any, it might just be the placebo effect of justifying spending so much money and the cost/benefit ratio just does not justify it: I’ll sooner donate the $... | |
| How to prevent visitors from touching your system When expecting guests, I take that day's poop that I've picked up after walking my delightful Mitsy and instead of dropping it in the trash can, i artfully place it on top of the turntable dust cover. |
